The Light Fantastic! (187)

The Light Fantastic!

When entering a Desert like place, Ash & Co. learn that Remoraid used to live here and that water was common there...but it just stopped coming. Ash & Co. Decide to help and try and get water back to the area. Can they do this?

Even though this episode was a bit boring, it was pretty funny. I wish they would have explained why Mr. Gangogh was holding the hamburger in his mouth in the flashbacks, but that was the only real flaw. I liked Jessie and James dressing Meowth as a mummy, them pouring water on his face, and Misty trying to capture a remoraid. I also liked the flashback to the ancient civilization and the message it gave about what not to do with the environment.

well, I just watched this ep in Japanese, and I can confirm that Misty's comment about the 251 crayons being the same as the number of Pokemon was dub-only.

While the number 251 certainly seemed like it was an inside joke, I guess Kasumi didn't make mention of it in the original because the writers were now aware that, with the advent of Gold and Silver, the number of Pokemon could (and did) increase (plus, Kakureon's debut wasn't extremely far off from the time this episode aired). Thus, there's no longer any point in the characters making mention to some set amount of Pokemon in existance, like they did with "150" back in the day, and any such mentions would only turn out to be a major continuity error in the future (plus, people knowing the number of Pokemon in existance is also screwed up because several legendaries are barely known).

Yup, classes again. I'm gonna be at this for a while.

I translate for #Pocketmonsters (just because I know Japanese does not make me Japanese, stop PMing me).

Didn't you know about Gan Gogh? The one who had a Venusaur? He had 251 colors in all, which Misty thought all the colors are given to each of the Pokemon in the Johto Pokedex? In fact in the Johto Pokedex, it contains 251 Pokemon too.

I really liked this episode. I thought the Remoraid were really cool when they made the ice tower and filled up the lake and rivers again. I really wish Misty would have caught one though. I also liked the reference Misty about that there are 251 pokemon. I also wonder why Mr. Gan Gogh always had a hamburger when he was painting the lights.

I <3 May.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

You can tell they named Gan Gogh after the famous artist Van Googh. Maybe the reason why he had a hamburger in his mouth was because he was in his lunch break during the light shows up. This was a good filler. 7/10

It wasn't Filler in my opinion, since Remoraid debuted. Another desert in the anime? I find it hard to believe that Johto is a warm region like Hoenn :S

I liked that the area near the Pokemon Center had ruins dedicated to the Remoraid that lived there. What I liked best of all was that there was a lake under the Pokemon Center. Kind of like an aquifer.

The painter who had waited so long to see the rainbow of colors made by the Remoraid and their ice finally got the chance to paint the scene. It was beautiful. 8/10

This episode was ok... Seeing Remoraid for the 1st time was very cool. The lights in the sky were very cool. It was cool seing Remoraid make the Ice Tower and refill the lake and rivers. Gan Gogh was a very odd character.

What a nice episode. The light in the sky was beautiful, and the Gan Gogh pun on Vincent van Gogh was good as well. Remoraid are cute and cool Pokemon. 9/10 for a fantastic Jotho filler. Gan Gogh's Venusaur was nice as well.

Only us Dutch people can know that Gan Gogh was originated from the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh instantly. I actually enjoyed the introduction to Remoraid and the whole mystery behind that light in the air.

A nice episode, the light in the sky was very beautiful. Misty & Brock's face's were hilarious when they thought Nurse Joy called Ash cute. It was interesting learning about the history of the Remoraid.
